☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains two stories: a tale involving Annie Oakley and a shooting exhibition at a grand stand where a crowd becomes excited and criminals attempt a getaway with stolen money, forcing Annie Oakley to stop them; and "Jesse James," in which the outlaw and a companion arrive in Cascade City on June 1st, 1870, check into a hotel, and encounter Varmints and a Native American archer in a confrontation involving a golden arrow and a jeweled box.
Wild Bill Hickok befriends a young Comanche brave cast out by his own father after a terrible failure, and when a plot to steal the tribe's herd comes to light, Hickok sees a chance to help restore the boy's honor. Trapped in a box canyon with Chief Black Cloud's war party, they must find their way out when a traitorous shaman's scheme threatens to destroy them all.
Annie Oakley faces off against a pair of ruthless outlaws—brothers Bart and Luke Smollen—who've vowed revenge after she foiled their robberies at the rodeo and on the stage trail. When they sabotage her guns before a show in Cragstone Junction, counting on her trusted irons to fail, Annie must rely on her legendary instincts and quick thinking to turn the tables and expose their scheme.
Two weary drifters arrive in the frontier town of Cascade City looking for nothing more than a hot bath and rest, but when they witness a robbery at the local hotel, Jesse James and his companion find themselves drawn into a gunfight with the bandits—and then face an even trickier problem when the sheriff arrives on the scene. What begins as a chance to help the townspeople becomes a race against discovery as their true identities threaten to catch up with them.
Chuck Wagon Gus is baking up a batch of apple pies, and when a cowboy named Cy strikes a deal for a slice—promising to supply plenty of apples in exchange—Gus agrees, with one catch: Cy will have to be patient. What unfolds is a humorous tale of frontier ambition, apple trees, and the creative bargaining that keeps a chuck wagon cook and his hungry companion entertained in the Old West.
Golden Arrow, the Robin Hood of the Wild West, arrives at the Powati Indian village to visit his old friend Chief Fox Tail, only to find renegade tribesmen terrorizing the village and demanding the location of the tribal jewels. With the chief under siege and fires spreading through the village, Golden Arrow must track down the fleeing criminals across treacherous terrain and a seemingly impenetrable cliff-top stronghold to recover the stolen treasure and restore peace.
